The output of this command is instantaneous! So the search from the CLI
is very powerful and VERY fast. The problem is that the results do not
tell which backup has the resulting file, the backup number or the
modification date.
BackupPC_zcat behaves like cat, simply concatenating multiple arguments. You should write a short shell script that iterates through each file, eg in bash:
for file in /Bobby/pc/*/XferLOG.*.z ; do echo $file ; BackupPC_zcat $file | egrep "*headphone*" ; done
As well as the last modified date?
Typically mtimes don't appear in the XferLOG file, so you'll need to use the BackupPC_ls approach instead (which will produce an accurate list of files, whereas the XferLOG file might not show unchanged files depending on the Xfer method and log level etc).
